Bridal Shed: Photography by Anne Wells
P59 – “The underside of the roof is swathed in a cotton canopy. (There is a timber roof above.) A storage area to the far end is created with a stud partition that comes out just to the center of the shed.”
She Sheds
P60 – “Wells’s she shed is a handy place for running Betty & Bear, her wedding floral business. It provides plenty of room for all of her foliage and tools and is a short commute from home to backyard.”

P73 – “Ken Smith designed a more steeply pitched roof and included a small oval window and French doors. Two custom-made barn lights in a deep cobalt blue complete the façade.”

P105.jpg – “A rich charcoal paint on the exterior gives the shed some gravitas. The shed was born out of two small, extremely dilapidated sheds on Morse’s property.”
P107.jpg – “A stunning chandelier that Morse made from shells hangs over the main living area of her shed. The sofa serves as her bed when she stays here. Handsome wood flooring is mostly original, painted black. Above the beams, a former air vent now serves as a small window.”
P109.jpg – “Morse managed to fit a full kitchen into just one corner of the shed, installing a counter level refrigerator to maintain a compact feel. Open shelves provide extra storage.”

P117 – “The first phase of construction for the shed was simple framing of the floor and roof. The roof is clad with corrugated tin found in Whitnah’s barn, and a sturdy stepladder made of recycled wood leads to the doorway. Flooring and stairs are from her grandfather’s old barn that fell down.”

P154.jpg – “The metal wall panels install quickly and are prefabricated at the company’s facility. The lightning-speed construction of this shed leaves time for creating a spectacular entrance. Stylish Arts-and-Crafts fencing is characterized by large 4×4-inch square posts, with the frame painted the same gray as the shed, and, for contrast, stained wood rails and decking.”

P168 – “Twin trellises support the garden’s climbing roses on the Williamsburg Gardenbelle she shed. This impressive architectural structure is actually centered within the brick wall and becomes part of the landscape’s permanence.”
